Identity
Ronnie Laws
(c) 1990 ATA Records
The Houston native came out of his comfort zone to record this unique album that surprises jazz fans with a pure hip hop/r & b approach with the creative production of guitarist Craig T. Cooper (former member of the r & b group Sunrize).
"Identity,” the title cut is electric enough to fit in most dance club formats with Cooper's booming bass keyboard riffs along with Ronnie Laws clean cut sax improv. "Sing Song Sing" features high energy background vocal hooks paired nicely with Laws trademark tenor saxophone solos. Other cuts worthy of airplay include "Street Knowledge" and "Palisades.”
"Identity,” unlike any other studio or live album ever recorded, gave Ronnie Laws the opportunity to experiment and broaden his horizon along the musical spectrum while reeling in a younger hip hop audience.
